Escape the city on this half day tour (afternoon, 4 hours duration) from Dublin to Malahide Castle & the northern coast.
Stopping first at the grounds of Malahide Castle you can enjoy a live-guided tour of the refurbished castle (Talbot family) and wander the castle grounds which span some 250 acres. Watch out for the ghosts that haunt the castle! Enjoy the private gardens of Lord Talbot, which have been opened to the public and are described by garden lovers as a small botanic haven. Visit the local craft shops or relax over a coffee, treats & pastry.
Continue with a scenic coastal drive through the picturesque Malahide & fishing village of Howth. Take time to wander around this pretty village before making our way to Howth summit for a spectacular photo opportunity overlooking Dublin Bay. The perfect way to unwind, less than one hour from the city!

Experience the Wicklow Mountains Tour from Dublin (full day, 9 hours duration), including stunning Glendalough, on this day trip from Dublin. Lunch in Fitzgerald's Pub. The day tour of Wicklow is guaranteed to be one of the highlights of your visit to Ireland. You may arrive a stranger but you will leave a friend.
Your most memorable day in Ireland is enhanced by our award winning Wicklow Mountains Tour guides. Absorb their tall tales and legends of Glencree Valley and the famous Sally Gap. Soak up the breath taking Wicklow mountain scenery and rolling green countryside at locations made famous by movies such as Braveheart, P.S. I Love You & Vikings.
The stunning scenery of our route includes Glencree Valley, a photo stop at the Guinness Lakes (Tay), the bog lands and heather fields of the Sally gap and Glendalough. Situated in the heart of the Wicklow Mountains, the 10th century monastic round tower settlement in Glendalough is the jewel in the crown of the Wicklow Mountains Tour. Offering up leisurely (or more challenging) walkways to the lower and upper lakes, Glendalough is a must for any visit to Ireland. Make sure you have your camera at the ready!
Then into Fitzgerald's Pub for a hearty lunch (meal deal with complimentary drink available for all on board) Why not try an Irish whiskey to toast new friends made on the Wicklow Mountain Tour before heading back to Dublin after an day exploring the enchanting garden of Ireland. (We recommend that you wear comfortable footwear and bring a jacket/coat with you).
